Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a nice location, just off the M6, and not too far from amenities. The staff were helpful, but the rooms could have been cleaner. Dining was a mix of very nice options and others that were not worth the price. Overall, it's a decent place considering the rate.
The hotel rooms were basic but clean, and most importantly nice and warm. The staff were friendly and attentive. However, the dining experience had some issues with undercooked food. Overall, a convenient and reasonably priced stay with good amenities like a swimming pool and gym.
The hotel is located in a small village outside of Wigan, offering a good base point for a concert, but not as convenient for access to major towns. While the rooms were initially disappointing with cleanliness issues and maintenance problems, the staff did not provide much assistance. The dining experience was subpar, with delays and limited choices. Despite these drawbacks, the price was considered affordable.
